make sure active autowerke's f8x exhaust is on your holiday wish list this year

One of the newest additions to the Active Autowerke exhaust collection has become a real hit in the F8X community, just in time for the holidays! If you haven’t seen – or heard – our F8X M3 & M4 rear exhaust then you my friend are missing out!

What really sets it in a class of its own is the quality and care that has gone into the research and development of the product. The Active Autowerke F8X M3/M4 exhaust is a made in the USA product. We manufacture each one by hand at our local shop in Miami, Florida.

While the quality of the product is one of it’s most attractive qualities, that is definitely not the only draw of our F8X M3/M4 rear exhaust. There are many other reasons why enthusiasts are making sure it is on their holiday wish list this year. Not only does it sound terrific during start up, but that deep, throaty growl carries all the way through open throttle. The specialists at Active have also put emphasis on designing and creating a stylish product to guarantee an awesome look for your F8X. Most importantly, the significant gains in horsepower and torque with the addition of F8X M3/M4 rear exhaust are huge advantages for drivers.

Music to Your Ears

Forget holiday carols, the sound form the Active Autowerke F8X M3/M4 rear exhaust is the real music of the season. It creates a deep growl that is admired by many car enthusiasts, and should’ve came with the car from the factory! We were able to eliminate the high pitch drone stock exhaust systems are known for, and replace it with a note that is much more sophisticated and aggressive. We did this by adding two silencers to the exhaust. One is located in the midpipe which has a small crossover that allows for noise dampening. The other is in the muffler which has a reflection chamber that acts as the silencer on either end of the chamber.

Our F8X M3/M4 rear exhaust paired with our F8X M3/M4 mid pipe sounds phenomenal during wide open throttle. Check out this in-depth review on BimmerPost to hear for yourself!

Sleek Style

Not only does our F8X M3/M4 rear exhaust sound great, the quad tips included are beautiful. This exhaust features double-walled, stainless steel, polished tips for an unmatched view from behind. These tips give the exhaust a much more aggressive and appealing look over the stock system.

Impressive Power Gains

Let’s be honest, improved sound and style are crucial but it is the power gains from our F8X M3/M4 axel back exhaust that really make this the ultimate performance enhancement for your ride. Owners can expect to gain 18+whp and 30+toque over stock by adding our rear exhaust when paired with the Active Autowerke F8X Mid-Pipe!

With impressive power gains it is easy to see why the F8X exhaust is becoming a favorite BMW performance product

With huge benefits like these, it is easy to see why the Active Autowerke F8X M3/M4 rear exhaust has become one of our most sought after BMW performance parts. Make sure your friends and family know exactly what you want for the holidays this year!

 

Jeff Cripe Explains The One Thing You Need To Know When Racing Your BMW

jeff cripe on the one thing you need to know to race your bmw

“So, there I was deep in the field. Lap after lap, all I did was drive, pass another car, and set my sights ahead.”

Jeffrey Cripe went off-track and spun his #96 E36 BMW 328is on the opening lap of the 2015 SCCA Runoffs. After starting 4th, the spin caused him to fall to 24th position. Battling back from this error would not be a simple task.

However, it was the final race of the 2015 SCCA season and Jeff was blessed with road racing in his blood. Learn More

Perfectly Designed Exhausts Aren’t Built Overnight

Let’s face it – if you haven’t heard the new F8X BMW M3/M4 twins’ factory exhaust, you’re one lucky son of a batch of cookies.

To put it plainly, the stock exhaust on BMW’s latest M & M combo sounds absolutely horrific! Some have likened the sound to that of a weed whacker – not exactly what new customers would expect to hear coming from a car that carries such a legendary lineage.

Naturally, this didn’t sit well with us. So, we decided to do what we do best – engineer a top quality performance exhaust system that not only looks and sounds great, but adds a good amount of power as well. Continue Reading

Why The ACTIVE-8 Is The Real MVP

why the active-8 is the real bmw tuning mvp

Let’s get one thing clear off the bat – we’ve got no rooting interest in the success of the New York Knicks or Los Angeles Lakers. Why bring this up? Well, these are two franchises with long and storied histories. They have heritage, name-brand recognition, and (for the most part) know how to win.

Yet here in the summer of 2015, both are being snubbed by some of the NBA’s top free agents. There are multiple basketball-related reasons for this, but since we aren’t a sports blog, we won’t pretend to know anything about those. The bottom line is the Lakers and the Knicks are in a position that’s quite foreign to them: they’re underdogs.

We can relate somewhat. We recently launched our latest ACTIVE-8 tuning module for the latest crop of turbocharged BMWs – a market that’s already quite crowded. However, if there’s one thing that history has shown us, its that you should never count out a perpetual winner.

Here’s what makes the ACTIVE-8 the real MVP: Continue Reading

We like to have our cake, and eat it too. This is probably why you won’t see any of us competing in the Crossfit Games during ESPN2’s late night programming anytime soon. Where you WILL catch us though, is at events like the recent high-performance driving event at Palm Beach International Raceway, put on by our friend Tony and the crew at The HPDE.

The Top 7 Ways The BMW Event Lived Up To The Hype

the bmw event beat the hype header

Thank you.

Yes, you. The enthusiast. Our fans. The guy reading this in Starbucks when he knows full well he should be studying for finals.

Thank you to our supporters, and yes, even to our detractors.

We initially threw our support behind concept of The BMW Event because we believed in it. The mission presented was enormous: Organize and publicize the largest gathering of BMW owners the Southeast region had ever seen.

We were skeptical, but optimistic; the potential was obvious and we anticipated a good turnout…but what we experienced at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday, April 25, 2015 blew us – and everyone involved in the planning, marketing, and execution of the event – completely away.

In total, there were over 500 BMWs, more than 1,000 attendees, and dozens of sponsors and vendors offering everything from free wheel sets to detailing services, to a mobile dyno. The hype was real…but these are the 7 ways that the inaugural ‘ The BMW Event’ lived up to, and even surpassed it: Read More

e60 m5 bearings replacement blog header

A few weeks ago, we had a customer contact us regarding his E60 BMW M5. He expressed to us that he had been contemplating whether or not to bite the bullet and replace the V-10 S85’s bearings after seeing and hearing of the horrible aftermath that can ensue should they fail. With 114K miles on the M5’s odometer, we strongly urged him to bring “El Guapo” in before he saw the same catastrophic failure other unfortunate //M-powered cars have previously experienced.

Why?

We’re glad you asked. We may not have a million reasons – but here are five that should convince you not to miss The BMW Event.

There is a reason we use one year as a significant measurement of time. A great many things can happen over the course of a single rotation around our sun. Journeys are began and completed. We as individuals grow older and wiser. Taylor Swift blows through dozens of relationships and corresponding hit singles.

A year can be used as an assessment of progress. For Ira Schacter and his S65-powered ’33 hot rod project, progress was certainly evident. In fact, it has been over a year since the idea first made the leap from dream to reality – a reality that included some trials and obstacles that Ira could not have possibly predicted at its onset. Despite this, Ira is having the time of his life. Learn More
